    Wtf are you talking about? China and the USSR supported North Korea, which if you recall, was the aggressor in the Korean War. They invaded the RoK.

    As for America’s involvement, it was hardly them acting unilaterally. It wasn’t even them and a small coalition of their allies like Vietnam was. The UN Security Council voted to approve the action. You could criticise the US for their involvement in almost any war they were involved with post-WW2, but not Korea. (Criticising their tactics is one thing, and fair. But not the mere fact that they were involved.)

      The DPRK is korea. South Korea is a US vassal state ruled by a fascist installed military dictatorshop. The DPRK declared war on a vassal state and an invading military imposing itself on its country. The UN is a western controlled body that is not an authority on anything.

        What utter nonsense. The DPRK was as much a USSR puppet state as the ROK was an American one.

        The DPRK started an aggressive war. Just like Putin’s Russia is doing today in Ukraine.

          It’s funny how quickly the conversation went from Israel is committing genocide and the US is supporting them to “DPKR, CCP, and USSR did nothing wrong…”

            Tankies are really weird like that. They don’t actually care about the facts, they just oppose anything that the US supports. This allows them to be on the “right” side a lot of the time, including, obviously, with Israel’s genocide against Palestine, but then you get nonsense like the above.

            I swear if you could magically rip out all their knowledge of WW2 and then explained the events of the war to them, without mentioning the USSR’s involvement, they’d be siding with Germany, just to be against America.
